Betty's Beets

2 large onions
2 cans Libby's sliced beets (drained) (I've been starting with fresh beets, instead of canned beets.)

1/3 cup salad oil
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar

3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

In the microwave, heat the oil, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper until boiling.
Add 2 large, thinly sliced, onions and stir.
Add the beets and marinade together while warm.
Refrigerate and serve cool.

Broccoli Salad

1 large head of broccoli (I use a total of 5 stocks of broccoli)
7 strips of bacon (or you can do without if you don't like bacon)
1 cup sunflower seeds
3/4 cup raisins
Chopped onion to taste (I use red)
1/2 cup Miracle Whip (I use the Light)
4 tblsp sugar
1 tblsp vinegar
Fry the bacon until crisp and cut up. Wash and finely chop the broccoli
In a bowl, combine the bacon and broccoli with sunflower seeds,raisins, and onions.
Prepare dressing by combining the Miracle Whip, sugar, and vinegar in a separate bowlPour dressing over salad ingredients and marinate overnight.

This is a great salad because the longer it sits the better it tastes!
